He’ll be “apologizing” within a week.
I think you will enjoy this
“Reverend,” “Father,” why use either? But that’s not the subject here.
Are we to have the impression that this man is the only one, or one of only a few who openly takes such a stand?
I could drive you through the Smokey and Blue Ridge Mountains, and to many other regions around the States where Preachers have have taken and are taking an open stand, opening the Bible, and telling people what is happening in this Obama guy, and what is happening to our country. A lot of those folks are among the many stocking up on arms.
Perhaps we should take this to mean that “finally” a liturgical-style clergyman has taken such an open stand.
Some priests DO use the term Rev....I had one who used the term VERY REV. ......
Now is the time for the Vatican to have the same temerity this priest did and speak the truth of Scripture and condemn those that voted for any abortion rights candidate. Only when the Vatican speaks will this priest’s stance resonate with Catholics throughout this world.
If you want to get technical, it should never be Rev. Jay Scott Newman for any denomination. It should be The Rev. Jay Scott Newman, which would be appropriate in this case, though The Rev. Fr. Jay Scott Newman would be best.
Nope - this is why Catholic attendance by center-rights has decreased dramatically, while parishes/schools are being closed at record pace, why lawsuits against the church have skyrocketed and why contributions are at it’s lowest (even before the economy woes). See it’s us center-rights in the Catholic church that are the money of the church, not the far right or the left. So unless the church changes and has to scrounge for loose cannons like this guy or immigrants to fill its pulpits then the church will continue to wither here in the US. Facts are facts - keep religion (telling someone they cannot receive Communion) out of politics.
Oh, they bastardized his quote. It’s PERFECT:
supporting [0bama] “constitutes material cooperation with intrinsic evil”
Officially, yes, it does. We don't say it, but it's on all the documentation.

bump!
(the left is trying to mix politics over religion, the pastor is keeping his religious decisions inside the religion)
This idea about politics needing to be separated out of our lives if we are Christians is a bunch of hooey!
Every facet of our lives is to conform to the example of Christ, nothing is to be left out.
Another false precept those on the left and “false” Christians perpetuate in order to keep Christians from participating in the political arena.
Rev. is correct as a formal title for a Catholic priest (in the newspapers, for example). He is addressed as Father and can be referred to that way in the press, but the usual formal title is the “Reverend [name],” followed by the initials of his religious order, if any.
Gee they never seem to have a problem with that when their candidates make the rounds of all the Black churches to get out the vote.
